The worst thug from last year’s notorious Times Square Easter wilding smiled and nodded at friends as he was led out of a Manhattan courtroom today to serve 16 years on attempted murder.

“At this point, I would like to apologize to the people I shot, as they were unintended victims,” Rayvon Guice, 21, told the judge as he was sentenced in Manhattan Supreme Court.

“I hope they will eventually forgive me,” he added of his victims, two young women who suffered graze wounds.

Supportive shouts of “Yo! Yo!” and “N—!” rose from five rows of young men who’d attended the brief proceeding. In a kind of Wilding Lite, the men later spilled into the hallway, posing for news photographers and asking how to get copies of snap shots.

Guice, a repeat felon, got the only prison sentence out of 30 people arrested on Easter evening, when hundreds of teens and young adults who surged into the square, many shouting, throwing punches and generally freaking out tourists and other pedestrians.

When the smoke cleared, only Guice and a second young man — Jermaine Parker, 19, who admitted injuring two cops while resisting arrest — would be convicted of felonies.

Parker, whose resisting left one cop with a concussion and another with a broken wrist, took a no-jail felony assault and weapons plea in July — a plea that will ultimately leave him without a felony record if he’s not rearrested in the next year.

Prosecutors cited Parker’s youth, good family and clean record in approving the plea, which also requires counseling, eight days community service and his continuing at work and technical school.

But Guice, who already has a year-old felony weapons conviction from the Bronx and a pending Bronx drug case, was a different story.

He pleaded guilty January 6 to attempted murder and felony assault and weapons possession, admitting he was aiming to kill — his intended victim remains unnamed — when he opened fire.
